JLY was more entertaining in this than he was in Jersey Boys.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion, bdwaygirl. I was pretty sure I would have noticed Cheyenne Jackson if he were really in the episode!

I wouldn't have recognized JLY if I hadn't known he was going to be on the show.

I still cannot get Matt singing "This is how we do it" (just that line) out of my head since previews last week. Not that I mind, but just the one random line can get a little weird.

Oh, and the kid who plays Puck, awesome voice, amongst other things! :)

Did it bug anyone else that A Cafella was NOT singing a capella?

I thought last nites was better than last weeks, but there were still problems. I mean Will JUST got all excited about running the Glee club, but 2 weeks later he's bored and wants to go form his own group because he feels un-fullfilled? That just didn't make sense. This show is 3 episodes old, and he's already left the Glee club twice. Is he going to leave every week?
And, as others have said, the entire storyline involving his wife is awful, and the entire show stops dead during those moments.

***Spoiler alert***

I know that future episodes are already in the can, but the writing of this show has got to get better.

Matt Morrison's character has ditched the Glee Club for the second time (first time in pilot) and this is only the third episode. Any future attempts of him ditching the club will make him look like a huge quitter.

I understand that the Acafella group was created to give Matt more singing time, but it's really a bad idea. It takes away from the importance of the Glee Club.

Obviously the black girl's love storyline was written for her to sing a song rather than coming out of the truth of the character.

I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the others. I wish the Glee club would have actually gotten to sing last night instead of so many Acafellas performances. Nonetheless, I love this show!

Call it my Pollyanna complex, but I just flat out enjoy this show and smile for the hour it's on. I don't take it too seriously. The tone is very tongue in cheek and that's part of its charm.

Me too. Love it. And I LOVED the Acafellas! Matt made me grin from ear to ear.

This show is really entertaining me. I know the writing is lacking, but I just don't care. After a long hard day at work to come home, plop down on the couch and have a show keep my interest and entertain me then all is good in the my world.

From Billboard.com:

The top six songs on the Billboard Hot 100 hold steady this week, but the new season of Fox's "Glee" brings joy to the chart.

The television show's cast recording of Rihanna's hit "Take A Bow" is the week's top debut at No. 46. The song scored 53,000 downloads after the show's season premiere Sept. 9. "Don't Stop Believin'," another song covered by the motley crew of musical misfits on "Glee," re-enters this week's chart at No. 78. The cast version of the Journey classic first made its debut on the chart in May after the "Glee" pilot aired, which prompted 177,000 downloads in the chart week that followed.

Glee pulled in 6.642 million viewers 3.1/8 with adults 18-49 and a 3.5/10 with adults 18-34, and a whopping 5.0/14 women 18-34!

The guy who created this show also created Nip/Tuck, and has a habit of compromising his characters' intelligence to make plot points go forward. Will's been subject to this a few times.

Will accepts the cheerleaders into glee club, not suspecting their motives. As others have said, he's quit and/or distanced himself from the glee club twice in three episodes. Will has a moment with the guidance counselor, then instead of saying, "We shouldn't because I'm married and about to be a dad" like he is to everyone else, he approaches the counselor the next day with a suggestion that they hang out again.

Will is supposed to be the hero, but there are selfish streaks that are crowding out his leading man appeal.

I think I am in the small minority that kinda thinks Will didn't exactly read into the whole Emma thing as a relationship or going there. It is obvious the whole time that he IS in love with his wife, even if he doesn't understand her more recent behavior. I always took it as more of the "work wife" relationship bond that forms in work places all over. You bond with someone and when at work they fill that void but the doesn't mean you will cheat on your wife or anything. There is an obvious attraction but that is human.

I dunno, I don't think i am explaining it right but I just read a whole article the other day on the "work wife/husband" trend and to me it fits more in that mold.

Many many reviewers of the show last night have pointed out the whole abandoning Glee club again thing as a trend they didnt like.

This show is all over the place, and not in a good way. It's still not gelling for me. It has its moments, but IMO it's just not cohesive enough and has an identity crises in that it doesn't know exactly what kind of show it wants to be.

Absolutely loved the preview a couple of months ago, missed last week's episode, and was really disappointed with Wednesday's show.

All the characters are worn-to-the-stump cliches, I could predict each moment before it happened, and when it delves into open-hearted sincerity ("I'm....gay") it rather resembles an afterschool special.

I'll give it another episode, but the last show didn't do it for me.

Wait till you see the next two episodes!

Would any Puck fans be interested in seeing Mark Salling shirtless?

With one nipple ring.

I swooned over him until I saw him with a nipple ring.

"I could predict each moment before it happened, and when it delves into open-hearted sincerity ("I'm....gay") it rather resembles an afterschool special."

I think they even used the same lockers that were used in ABC's very special episode of "Justin's Special Love".

Why do all emotional scenes have to take place at lockers with empty hallways? Can't you tell me on a Sunday, please?

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 9/18/09 at 3:00pm

Okay...so he was hot. Wish this was on cable so we could see...more.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Is the Puck chacterr on the show supposed to be 18 or was the show tittering at statutory rape? Will Matt Morrison's character do a cheerleader next week?

[MotorTink]

Posted: 9/18/09 at 3:17pm

It's their senior year so there is the slight chance he is 18, but generally on shows, it never comes across to people as creepy if it is a cougar and a 17 y/o boy, but if it was the opposite and it was an older guy and a 17 y/o girl, there would be picket lines already started.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 9/18/09 at 3:20pm

And there was the male teacher coming on to his male student in the first episode, but that was played for creepiness.

Something is really wrong with this show.
